EXAMPLE USE CASES.

The Situation.

Mrs. Anna Brown is 69-years old and lives alone in her city apartment. Since an incident a few months ago, when she fell on the way to the bathroom at night, her movements are very insecure and she worries about no longer being able to live autonomously. Due to her limited mobility, she often refuses to go out, which has a negative effect on her social life. Her caregiver Clara, as well as her children Michael and Sarah have noticed the change of Mrs. Brown’s behavior and personality but are either to busy or live too far away to actively support her.

The Solution.

The i-evAALution bundle is perfectly suited for this case. Automated night light scenarios, an integrated house alarm and device control through the innogy SmartHome system provide a reliable level of safety and comfort. The 2PCS watch offers additional safety features like manual alerting and fall detection. To increase Mrs. Brown’s social interaction, the Google Assistant gives her the possibility to connect with relatives and friends via text, voice and video chat by voice control. Thereby, the Google Assistant also provides a broad variety of media streaming content and news features and is able to interoperate with many smart devices and smart home systems. This gives the possibility to control all devices connected to the Google Assistant through voice control. Helferbörse, a social platform which is also included in the i-evAALution bundle, matches Mrs. Brown’s needs, abilities, and interests with other members in order to meet each other and build up social contacts. Finally, the HomeTab supports those who are taking care of Mrs. Brown by offering an integrated care management system and communication solutions. Altogether, the i-evAALution bundle is able to rebuild and maintain Mrs. Brown’s perception of safety and her self-confidence, increases her level of social interaction and extends her ability to live autonomously.
